| Abstract | Economic exchanges follow rules that impose procedures necessary for the good economic progress of the exchange and for the respect and perpetuation of commercial partnership. They involve the existence of a staff of legislators who make sure that trade goes smoothly and, when necessary, settle disputes and judge those who do not abide by these rules. Economic exchanges are also ruled by tacit standards inherited from tradition, ethics, the respect of virtue, and the fear of sin. |
